I Found a 0% Commission Platform to Sell Indie Games - Here is How It Works
If you are an indie game developer, the right sales channel depends on more than commission. A marketplace can bring discovery, community features, reviews, and update delivery. A direct storefront gives you more control over branding, bundles, licenses, and the buyer relationship, but you must bring your own audience.
3DIMLI supports Games as a product type with 8% on Flexible (only on finalized sales) or 0% on Fixed ($25/month, annual saves 17%). Payments go through the seller's connected provider rather than a 3DIMLI-held balance.
3DIMLI just added Games as a product type. Here is why it matters for developers.
The Problem With Existing Game Marketplaces
Every major game distribution platform takes a cut:
| Channel | What it is strong at | What the developer should verify |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | Large PC marketplace, community, updates | Current distribution agreement, onboarding fee, revenue share, and payout terms |
| Epic Games Store | Curated PC marketplace and developer revenue programs | Eligibility and the current per-title revenue-share threshold |
| itch.io | Flexible project pages and seller-selected open revenue share | Payment mode, processor fees, tax handling, and payout workflow |
| Direct storefront | Brand control, bundles, licenses, and direct promotion | Audience acquisition, payment-provider availability, refunds, and support |
Epic currently documents 100% developer revenue share on the first $1 million in annual net revenue per product, followed by its standard 88%/12% split. itch.io lets creators choose the platform share through its open-revenue-sharing setting. Those policies can change, so use the linked primary sources below rather than an old comparison table.
A Better Channel Decision for a Small Game
Use a marketplace when discovery, wishlists, reviews, automatic updates, community features, and platform trust are worth the commercial terms. Use a direct storefront when you already have an audience or need to sell DRM-free builds, soundtrack bundles, supporter editions, art books, mods, or studio tools under your own brand.
A hybrid release can be stronger than an all-or-nothing choice: publish the base game where players already shop, while using a direct storefront for clearly differentiated products that comply with each marketplace agreement. Never promise the same key, update path, or entitlement across channels until you have tested how each one handles ownership.
Before launch, make a real purchase from a clean buyer account and verify the receipt, download, archive structure, install instructions, update path, refund contact, and license terms. That evidence is more useful to a buyer than a fee headline. | 3DIMLI | 8% Flexible / 0% Fixed | Direct to connected account | Free to start |
3DIMLI is the only platform where you connect your own payment processor (Stripe, Razorpay, or PayPal) and money goes directly to your account. No middlemen.
What You Can Sell
The Games category on 3DIMLI is broad:
- Full indie games - executables, builds, early access
- Game assets - 3D models, sprites, tilesets, UI kits
- Mods and DLCs - expansion content, custom skins
- Game templates - Unity, Unreal, Godot starter projects
- Dev tools - plugins, scripts, shaders, procedural generators
And since 3DIMLI supports multiple product types per store, you can bundle your game with its soundtrack, art book, or developer toolkit - all from a single storefront.
